Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive Surgery

Persons with visible deformities are referred to Reconstructive Surgery centers for correction of their deformities. In the event of such a centre being far away, camps are held and a surgical team is invited to conduct surgeries. This also enables the local surgeons from the general health care system to learn and take over this important service in future.
